You keep hoping and hoping, but it’s hard to escape the conclusion that Ron Paul die-hards wouldn’t believe he’s racist even if he stabbed them in the asshole with a flaming cross and said, “Your Death Name is Toby.”

Because then it would be, “What? Toby is just a name. Why would that refer to anything? Sounds like you’re the one who’s crazy. And do we even know if it was dark out? Maybe he needed something to help him see where he was going, and then he was attacked by my asshole. Anyway, you can keep posting all the photos of this happening to me, but I’m not going to change my mind until I see some proof.”

Netflix User Review of ‘Atlas Shrugged, Part I’ #2

★★★★★

We saw this movie today, and thought it was terrific. the stars were not real famous, but everything about the movie was very, very entertaining. I just dont understand why they say part 1. Is there going to be a part 2. I never read the book, unfortunately, but will do so. Is there going to be a sequel or part 2. If anybody knows, please e-mail me at twinkeys2@yahoo.com.

BREAKING: Cubs Talk to Red Sox GM Theo Epstein

I can see this playing out 5 ways, all of which will come true:

1. Epstein moves to Chicago, taking the Cubs to their first series victory since 1908, breaking the Curse of the Bambino, the Curse of the Billy Goat, and becoming the greatest general manager since Branch Rickey, Omar Minaya or Brian Sabean.

2. The Red Sox repeat their post-2002 offer to Billy Beane, who gets the band back together with all those people who were assembled into the 10-foot-tall Jonah Hill from the Moneyball movie. Beane & Co. proceed to win two more titles, cashing in big, leading to their retirement and:

3. The Red Sox ownership, figuring they’re playing with house money with four titles in two decades, under two different GMs, name a black man as Beane’s successor. Boston immediately burns to the ground.

4. Brian Cashman retires and opens a sex club called the KOROVA MILF BAR.

5. Beane and Epstein take their collected winnings from the Red Sox and the Cubs, buy the A’s, move them offshore into a crazy baseball community like that Randroid Paypal whackjob and create the Freedom A’s of Libertopia, choose which league to join at the beginning of every year and quickly dash off five consecutive World Series Championships. Every player who attempts to declare for free agency is kidnaped by pirates, which is fully legal.

Dispatches from Libertopia: College Edition

The abundance of bongs and the consequence-free collegiate bubble that repels the practical and harsh elements of reality often form the genesis of Libertarian sociopathy. Reality is a thought experiment; people and products are all numbers, and death, suffering, pain, neglect and contempt are just remainders that someone at George Mason or the University of Chicago with enough math degrees will eventually square away for good at no cost to the Libertarian explaining this. 

Campus conservatives don’t seem to do much better, if for nothing more than the loss of economic-policy distinctions between them and Von Mises drones. Take this story, “College Students in Favor of Wealth Distribution Are Asked to Pass Their Grade Points to Other Students,” about a recent conservative graduate named Oliver Darcy. He and his buddies are right-wing media darlings, appearing in Andrew Breitbart’s vomit journals, in The Blaze and Townhall, as well as on birther-rapper home planet, World Net Daily.

This is what a complete lack of perspective looks like.

Just found out my g-ma—79, with a fake hip & two fakes knees—got an advanced pat-down today before her flight from Ky to Fla. #ridiculous  27 minutes ago

My grandmother was married to an Episcopal priest for 41 years. She had a son fly a chopper in Nam, and a grandson enlist after 9/11.  22 minutes ago

That she groped by a TSA pig is beyond farcical.  22 minutes ago

Wondering if TSA targets olds because they don’t use the net to complain. Whoever groped my g-ma should take a long walk off a short bridge.  18 minutes ago

Word! RT @johntabin: It’s also really dangerous, in terms of diverted resources.  17 minutes ago

I’ve criticized TSA for years, but this is devastating. What a bunch of spineless toadies.  15 minutes ago

Also worth mentioning that my grandmother’s older brothers died in WWII and her sister and mother were in WAVES.  13 minutes ago

I’m heartbroken by how embarrassed she is. She gave up so much, but not for this.  12 minutes ago

It’s borderline obscene. The WWII gen gave up so much, and then this shit happens.  12 minutes ago 

Sometimes I wonder what thoroughgoing processes of narcissism are required to elevate unfortunate and quotidian things to shattering moral tragedies of national and generational consequence.

Oh.
